CE Notice:
The CE symbol on your WatchGuard Technologies equipment indicates that it is in
compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive and the Low Voltage
Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU).RoHS Statement
The member states of the European Union approved directive 2002/95/EC, Restrictions of Hazardous
Substances (“RoHS directive”‘) that became valid on July 1, 2006. It states that all new electrical
and electronic equipment put on the market within the member states must not contain certain
hazardous materials. This device complies with the European Union’s R0HS directive 2002/95/EC and
similar regulations that may be adopted by other countries for European Sales.
WEEE Statement
WEEE is a general set of requirements dictated in the EU Directive 2002/96/EC. This Directive
mandated that member EU countries enact regulations governing the Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The Directive, and its individual transpositions into specific country
laws and legislation, is aimed at the reduction of WEEE through reuse, recovery, and recycling
of WEEE.
WatchGuard is working in partnership with our European Union (EU) distribution partners to ensure
that our products are in compliance with the WEEE statutes, and that the recovery of our product per
the specific EU country legislative requirements is seamless for our product’s end users. If you have a
WatchGuard product that is at its end of life and needs to be disposed of, please contact WatchGuard

WatchGuard is reasonably confident that our products do not contain any substances or hazardous
materials presently banned by any legislation, and do not present a risk due to hazardous materials.
WEEE recovery professionals should also note that these products do not have any materials that are
of particular high value in their individual form.
REACH
The new EU chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of
Chemicals) came into effect on June 1, 2007. REACH is Europe’s new chemicals legislation, which
is applicable in all 27 EU Member States as well as the EFTA European Economic Area (EEA).
REACH creates a new system for gathering information, assessing risks to human health and the
environment, and authorizing or restricting the marketing and use of chemicals produced or
supplied in the EEA. REACH has an impact on EEA producers and importers of finished products and
users of chemicals in the course of industrial or professional activities.
WatchGuard supports the overall REACH objective of improving the protection of human health
and the environment and will meet all applicable REACH requirements. WatchGuard is strongly
committed to working with our customers and supply chain to define and implement the REACH
requirements and ensure a smooth transition to compliance.
One of the REACH requirements is that manufacturers and importers have the duty to register
substances they are producing or importing. In accordance with the regulations, the products of
WatchGuard do not need to be registered for the following reasons:
• WatchGuard does not import more than 1 metric ton per year of a substance as defined by REACH.
• WatchGuard products are non-chemical products that are not designed to release any substance
under normal and reasonably predictable application.
• Our products do not contain the listed substances at more than 0.1% by weight of the whole
product/part.
